WOoooo Hooooo[sm=happy046.gif], Guess what guys, I actually didn't break my bike!! I took the whole air lid off as soon as I got home and rode the bike, YA.... this sucker is no longer stumbling when you gun the throttle anymore, its pushing you back in the seat as the power is transferred to the pavement!! Hell yes. Wow, I can tell a really big differance in power, especially off the rode in the dirt. I went to ride in the dirt track up the street and noticed that when I was cornering and pumping the throttle, the rear tire was losing traction because it was putting more power out then the dirt could handle, causing the rear wheel to skid and making my turns much sharper!! It couldn't do this before. 2nd gear on the dirt was a hell of alot more powerful. I would just blip the throttle and shoot up rooster tails like crazy, the bike couldn't do this before, I know cause I tried it.

sdunne,
I'm running the KDX snorkel and my bike seems fine on the 2nd clip and a 128 main. I think I'd like to try a 125 though.
One trouble I had with your statements however, is that you say to run the 4th postion with a stock set-up. That would be way too rich. The further form the base you go, the richer the needle gets. I'm at the 2nd position which is leaner than the 3rd postion your running... but my intake might be a little more restricted.
One other note... why bother with the holes... you might as well just take the cover off altogether, what's the difference?
Since I see ma little rich up top, I might go aahead and also try running wihtout the cover for a while, to see if I notice a change.

Well Seth, that is still a little rich for my taste. I prefer the lightest amount of brown, almost dirty white on the insulator.

RE: Ok I installed the Dyno Jet kit
Well Im probobly getting a little less MPG than you, cause I hit reserve at about 70 miles so thats about 46 MPG. Now that may be due to running richer than you or that I ring the hell out of the throttle even when riding normal.

RE: Ok I installed the Dyno Jet kit
Now that you guys have jetted the carb and opened up the air box etc, is the bike getting really hot. the other day I took the snorkle off for a little to see the diffrence and ripped up the road came back and the bike was hot as hell. I noticed the difference in power but i thought the rear panel by the exaust would be melting off after a long ride. the bike is still stock and i no the exaust is holdin back alot and probablly causing the heat without the snorkle but im Just wondering how all the rest are doing in that area?
